Where 2 sit audio quiz
Hey Sean, your suggestions about dealing with 'audible' issues such as hot upper mids are consistant with what I'm hearing. I should have said that I'm using the 3.6's without any tweeter attenuation, and I think that has certainly raised the high...

C'mon Rives get off the fence...LOL 
DTS Concert Videos, Music
If you like floyd try the Dave Gilmour Live DVD. The sonics are excellent. 
Help with increasing gain on pre amp or options?
Thanks for comments so far, however, I just installed a high-gain mod from Audio Research (2 resistors lift the output from 12 to 18 db) and it's still not enough.It changes from disc to disc, but on most discs I can't get more than about 88db (at... 
audio research high gain mod in ss pre-amp
Mike,I just added the two resistors for the 6db extra gain to my ARC LS15 (tube pre). It's probably the same mod with the same results. Sound quality is unchanged - no sonic difference that I could detect. The extra gain in real terms is marginal,...

Thanks again Eagle 
How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System?
Thanks Eagle, the amps are Cary V12i Mono's. Using two subs, would I basically run each sub in mono, just taking another speaker cable from each amp to the single sub?....The cary's have taps for 4 and 8 ohm, I'm using the 8 ohm tap as it sounds b... 
How to Add a Sub on a 2 Channel System?
Hi,I'm using maggie 3.6's biwired with monoblocks, what is the best way to add a sub in this configuration?Also, is it best to leave the speakers running full range?Do I need an active x-over with this setup, or can a sub be added keeping my exist... 
How much does your system retail for?
$24,000 with another 8 grand in bits scattered around the pad.I hate myself, and I hate the person who started this thread. 
Favourite Guitar CDs
Try John Williams' The Magic Box on SACD - nice recording, some great guitar based music. It has classical roots with a 'world music' style....interesting mix! 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Stereophile and TAS demonstrate the crossover between science and instinct. They occasionally review products and sing thier praises from the audible perspective, only to pass them over to the test people to have the test results suggest a less th... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Sean, your comment on Pipedreams and SPL's makes sense, but is there anything out there that may be more affordable, that might couple well with tubes?I'm quite pleased overal now with the sound of the 3.6's, in this space. However, I'm thinking a... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Thanks Sean / Dsoden,VTL amps are on my list, others are some high powered Mono's from Manley. First I will try a powerful SS which has been suggested by most people, I can at least use that as a referrence point when I try out tubes later. I hate... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Thanks again to everyone who has taken the trouble to post responses, and also to those people who emailed me privately.There are a couple of points that I wanted to revisit, particularly in response to Sean's post which was very informative.Sean,... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..
Hi guy's, go easy on me! I have enough stress (LOL).KF - I do understand what you say about needing more power, but there are people using their maggies with 100 watt tubes that say they are getting great results, and I tried a 200 watt SS that to...
